Great, that sounds like the earlier P-80rs except that you can now do 3way+sub. I'm sure they improved the interface capability as well, cause that was one weakness of the older one. Atleast for those who stream music. I wish they had made it 31 bands on the eq. 16 was spread a bit thin over 3 drivers a side. It would be thinner over 4.
Just going by Bings thread on CES, seems like Alpine did a good enough job killing the 117. Very little, if any of the dsp got carried to the replacement model.

Why is nobody talking about the new Clarion w/full processing built in?

And it's got an MSRP of $249.

Looks like the Clarion only has 5 band EQ vs. the 16 band on the Pioneer. Given their price points, it's not like the two are head to head competitors but still...
I do like how the Clarion has the BT mic built in. Makes it super easy for install.
I like the Pioneer's looks more but honestly, it's still not even that nice looking. The p99 has it all but is nearly 3x the price.

If $400 can get 3-way + sub, why not?
The above only happens when I'm dreaming, haha...
The only hope for this is Pioneer remove the stupid pico fuse design...

I've never had a pico issue with any of my pioneer decks (800prs, 880prs, etc).
^^ ran both decks for four years and never had the issue.

I was just taking it from what Frank mentioned. I haven't checked the details.

It seems this unit is geared towards the SQ & competition users. So it seems Pioneer removed the IP-Buss connector & circuit to reduce cost. So no sat radio & changer capability.

Well it really should not be, the unit is bluetooth capable. With that option you have access to more media via your smartphone! Iheart radio "FREE" seems to be the hot pick over sat radio these days. Then the memory card in your phone replaces the CD changer. Smart move on Pioneers part to capitalize on that technology to save the end user some $$$$.

Not entirely true... In August 2008, I was riding to a friend's funeral with another friend in his 2004 Tahoe and his Tahoe was having problems with the AC compressor clutch cycling in and out. Want to guess what blew on the way to the funeral? The Pico fuse in his Pioneer HU. It was a loud snap followed by that overly loud whine sound through the speakers. That loud snap coincided with the clutch kicking in.
Of course, one of our local tech buddies was able to bypass the Pico in about 20 minutes, including removal and reinstallation. In theory, it shouldn't have blown due to a non-audio related event.
The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.

^^yeah, accept I actually use a cd changer and not a smartphone. So like I said 'for me' it's a negative.
